Lift cables carry serious load alongside the springs. When one frays or snaps, we replace both cables as a pair and check the drums for wear.
When one lift cable fails, the other has seen the same wear cycle. We replace both to prevent a repeat call.
Cable replacement without a drum check is an incomplete repair, so we always look at both.
Our technicians are trained to safely release and reset tension when cables are involved, not just the springs.
We carry the common cable lengths and gauges for most residential door sizes.
Whatever brought you here, one of these service lines is the fix, and one call gets a technician moving.
We replace the snapped cable and its pair, then verify even tension across both sides.
Fraying cable strands are a warning sign of imminent failure. We replace before it snaps and drops the door unexpectedly.
If the cable keeps slipping off the drum, we look for a bent drum or misaligned track causing the repeat issue.
Worn or cracked cable drums get replaced alongside the cable itself, since a damaged drum will fray the next cable too.
A door hanging crooked usually means one cable or spring has failed while the other holds. We correct both the immediate hazard and the root cause.
Tell us if the door is hanging crooked or jammed, that detail helps us prioritize the call correctly.
Technicians carry standard cable gauges and lengths for most residential doors.
We check both cables and the drums together, then quote a flat price covering the full fix.
Cables replaced, tension balanced, and the door tested level before we leave, backed by written warranty.
“Cable kept jumping the drum every few cycles. Turned out the drum itself was cracked, replaced and fixed.”
“Caught the fraying cable during a routine call before it actually snapped. Appreciated the heads-up.”
“Same-day fix on a Saturday, cable stock right there on the truck.”
An uneven hang points to a broken cable, a failed spring, or a bent track pulling the panel off-square.
Both cables typically get replaced together to avoid a near-term repeat call.
We treat cable failures as priority calls given the safety risk involved.
We check the drum groove condition whenever a cable keeps coming off, since replacing just the cable won't fix a bad drum.
Pricing depends on cable length, gauge, and whether the drums also need replacing, confirmed as a flat number before work starts.
Standard cable and drum stock means same-visit repair is the norm, not the exception.
